The Happiest Surprise

infant portraits Baltimore
It's a year ago this week I got the happiest surprise of my life, news that, against all odds, I was going to have one more baby. I have to admit I was nervous, thinking of the logistics of it all, but here we are, a year later, not perfect, sometimes stressed, often a little harried, frequently tired, but always so grateful for our "bonus" baby who sneaked into our lives and our hearts when we least expected her!

Julia is two!

Some of you may remember Julia from her session at six months...she came to see me at the studio again a few weeks ago and she is such a big girl now! Still as lovely and luminous as ever, may just a wee bit more busy!

Family fun

I tend to get mostly babies and very young kids into the studio, so it was kind of refreshing to photograph a family with tween-age kids that I did not have to chase! Any my apologies in advaance to the daddy of this family for giving him a heart attack when he sees how grow-up his little girl looks!

Growing family...

I photographed baby Phoebe last month when she was just a few days old, just as I had photographed her big sister a few years ago when she was a newborn. I love seeing families as they grow and sharing in such a special part of their lives.

Awaiting...pregnancy shoot

OK, so I have been called out for not updating my blog since our new baby was born...oops! Yes, time is stretched a little thinner these days, but I'll do my best to do better!

I was just laying out a maternity mini-book for a client and wanted to share. This couple was so great to work with, and she was such a stunning pregnant momma! I just photographed their new baby in the studio a few days ago, and let me tell you, that child is just as gorgeous! I'll try to share some of him later, too!

Here are a few pages from her book...these little books are such a great way to remember this special time (without have to always display them on your walls).

And Campbell makes five...

Two weeks ago today, we welcomed our new baby girl, Campbell Louise Blanks, into our family. Since then, I have been using just about every quiet moment to photograph her! She is such a sweet baby, and we feel so lucky she joined us safely and without complications. She is the baby we did not know we needed to complete our family! I have so many images to share so check the blog over the next few days. My next goal is to get some nice shots of her with her eyes open. She seems to finally be waking up from her birth "wooziness" so wish me luck!

Back from the crash...a baby to share!

OK, so I am almost recovered from the death of my hard drive (though not completely...I have a date with Adobe tech support tomorrow to breathe life back into my Photoshop program on my desktop!). I'm waaay behind on my blog but wanted to post some from this session...baby McKenzie made her entrance into the world a few weeks earlier than expected and is such a joyful addition to this family...

Just a note

If you are waiting for proofs from me, I have had a hard drive failure on my main computer (don't worry, your photos are backed up!) but there will be a bit of a delay while I have the hard drive replaced and restore the files. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and will be in touch with everyone as soon as I have this all straightened out, which I hope will be in the next few days or so!

Meet Kayla, so lovely

I'm running out the door to yet another doctor's appointment (I'm at that point in this pregnancy where I'm going to be there a lot!) but I wanted to post these of lovely little Kayla while I have a minute. I get the most gorgeous babies in the studio!

Just one...pregnancy session

This lovely mom-to-be was gracious enough to let me post from her maternity session. I just have time to post one right now, but it was one of my favorites from her session. I can't wait to meet her baby girl in a few weeks!
